"Compost contents" obsession
spaceface:
I like to use the Seasons composting bins on all my residential lots, but the downside of this is that Sims are obsessed with emptying bins and trash compactors into them. Sometimes I will have two or three sims with the same action autonomously queued. If anything gets in their way and the action is dropped, the garbage is likewise dropped which causes a health hazard.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to dissuade this behaviour? At this point I am seriously considering only placing compost bins in the kitchen.
sloppyhousewife:
I don't think it's compost bin related - I remember my sims taking out the trash all the time pre Seasons. I usually have a backdoor in the kitchen leading to a backyard, where I have one compost bin and the trash can, so taking out trash doesn't take that long.
cwykes:
I agree that they've always been obsessed with taking out the trash and it's nothing to do with Seasons or the compost bin. I just try to ensure they have a full queue so they don't have time for any autonomous actions. You could always turn off free will if you are desperate.
Did you search? I found this immediately by sticking trash and obsess in the search box

Of course squinge's mods are old and not tested post free time.
I have put compost bins in the kitchen in one or two houses.
spaceface:
Yes I did search, but as far as I could tell, that is a pre-Seasons hack so I would rather not try it.
I never turn free will off, that makes the game hellishly boring. I prefer to use minimal intervention and utilize macrotastics in those circumstances where sims need to be directed.
